PER - Linear and Atmospheric Perspective Value Drawing Overview

Perspective – Linear and Atmospheric Perspective Value Drawing

Introduction  

Create a drawing showing both atmospheric and linear perspective. You can choose any building or structure that shows linear perspective and place it in any environment that shows atmospheric perspective.

Module Lessons Preview

In this module, we will study the following topics:

Perspective Overview: How you create the illusion of depth using linear perspective.

Linear and Atmospheric Perspective Practice: How you use the illusion of depth using only value and placement changes.

Landscape Drawing: How you can combine these techniques to create a well-composed drawing with atmospheric and linear perspective.

Module Key Terms

6 ways artists create depth on a 2D surface - overlapping, size, placement, detail, color, converging lines

Converging lines - when parallel lines recede (move away from you), they appear t move closer together (converge) toward the horizon line.

Linear Perspective - a graphic system that creates the illusion of depth through lines converging at specific points.

One Point Perspective - all lines converge at 1 point

Two Point Perspective - different lines meet at different points.

Horizon line - line parallel to the horizon. This line is flat and parallel to the bottom of the paper

Vanishing point - point on the horizon line where receding parallel lines meet.
